Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey's Awkward Flight

0:00On April 8th, Jessica Simpson and her ex-husband Nicholas Shea shared an awkward flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii last week. The former couple, married from 2002 to 2006, ended up seated in first class together. Sources say they did everything possible to steer clear of each other, the whole trip. Nick, now 52 and host of Love is blind, reportedly turned bright red when he spotted Jessica. His wife Vanessa was on board too, and the 45-year-old singer even switched seats to keep the distance. The lasheys used to live on a Wahoo for three years while she filmed in CIS Hawaii, though they moved back to California last year. Their history goes back to that famous MTV show Newlyweds, which captured their early marriage. Jessica opened up about it all, in her 2020 memoir, Open Book, calling Nick her first love and stressing mutual respect even now. Fast forward, Jessica announced her split from second husband Eric Johnson in January 2025 after a decade together.

1:02She's been dating Thomas Eisenhood, a former band-roady for about three months now, taking it slow. He hasn't met her kids, Maxwell, Thirteen, Ace, Twelve, or Birdie, Seven, yet. She's in a great spot, sources say, focused on co-parenting smoothly with Eric while they sell their hidden hills home and plan next steps. At flight tension aside, Jessica's looking ahead with real optimism. That's your update from Entertainment's Liberty News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
